Sphere-Work supervised, in an organisation-sensitive way, a merger process of 4 organisations. An important focus was on the involvement and participation of all stakeholders, not least the employees themselves. The quality of the change management expertise and the added value of these consultants 'on board' is beyond dispute.

Strategy, goals and actions were determined in a professional and quick manner. Among other things, a plan of action was drawn up (including timing), co-creative methodologies were put forward to support group processes and sessions were supervised, knowledge was brought in with regard to stakeholder management, a new job house, new decision-making principles and procedures, etc.

All 'deliverables' also met expectations, from the design of a new governance structure, to the preparation of analyses, reports and reports of workshops and meetings, to the drafting of a legal services agreement. There was also a continuous focus on communication about the different steps in the process to all parties.

Moreover, all this was given shape in a tight process direction, with clear decision-making moments for the governing body.

A merger process can only be successful if the 'why' is clear and inspiring. Sphere-Work proved to be the partner to support and strengthen this with knowledge, expertise and the necessary dose of flexibility.
